A girl: Amma, should I resist lustful thoughts or indulge in them?

Amma: Carnal desire is part of creation. But it should not become an addiction. Just like the body hungers for food, the mind aches for lust.
These thoughts are the food on which the mind subsists. If the mind gets addicted to this food, it becomes an obsession. All that you can do is to
be conscious of the psychological activity and not get addicted to it.

From the book “Amma – The Divine Mother”
